my friend at work says no its safer to let kids tumble during a crash. when belted seats will bust lose and tumble with kids. also brad stated tests show its safer to not be buckled. i strongly disagree. its law in mass but not on buses. it will keep them sitting also.

We have a 2000 Mazda MPV and two children. My 6-yr-old DD (53 lbs and 49" tall) is in a Graco Turbobooster (using it with the highback) and my 3 1/2-yr-old DS (34 lbs. and 41" tall) is in a Graco CarGo using the 5-pt harness. We never installed tether anchors in the van (I know, I know... bad us!) so I'm thinking of having the dealer install it now for my DS's seat. Also, I saw that the Britax Regent is to be used with children up to 53" tall so would it be a waste to purchase one for my DD when she's 4" away from the limit? Or should I go ahead and leave her in the booster and get a Regent for my DS since he has to get a new 5-pt soon anyway (the CarGo says to stop using 5-pt harness when child reaches 40 lbs and the shoulders are above the upper harness slots...but he is is nowhere near either yet anytime soon)?

I've been thinking of buying my first car, so that I can keep my driving skills up to par. I live in London and I'm a student, so I'm thinking of buying an electric car in order to avoid paying the congestion charge.

I'm just concerned with the safety of electric cars since they are so small.

Are they as safe as normal cars?

OK, this could be sexist but could be fun too. I do think women are safer drivers but on the ad, the driver's leaning over the seat whilst driving at speed, mucking around with a map and sitting on the back seat while an uninsured, underaged kangaroo is doing the driving. I'd like to see the words 'school-run', '4x4' and middle-class git with more money than sense in your lyrics although that's not really important.

Got flashed by a speed camera a couple of weeks ago. She was doing about 10 miles over the speed limit (silly cow) but she's never been 'got' before. She asked me how much I thought the fine would be, but, as I cant drive I haven't got a clue.

Have you ever been 'got' by a speed camera? If so, how much was the fine? Is it a set amount for all speeding offences?

Also, as it happened a couple of weeks ago, she thinks she's got away with it as she hasn't heard anyhthing about it yet, but i'm not so sure. Do these things take time to come through?

This really doesn't seem safe to me, what is the proper amount of speed to use when having to travel on a donut spare tire?

I know that you should replace the tire as soon as possible, and the donut is meant only to get you home or to a garage for a new tire.

Bu if on the way to the garage you choose to travel interstate, what speed should you keep the car at for safety?

My automatic car rolls back slightly in neutral but then comes to a stop and then wont move again till put into drive position - this occurs if the engine is running or not. Is this the correct function of an automatic car?

for ages drivers have told me it was at the driver's own discretion,and some drivers refused me entry to even an empty bus-last winter with a newborn and 2year-old was no fun in the cold waiting.....
now they tell me that if the buggy cant come on the front door you can be refused entry,some single buggies and few double buggies can fit through the central aisle-it requires you to fold the buggy to gain access.
wheelchair-users naturally can use the back doors-what of the parent with twins or very small children-it is impossible to hold baby,fold buggy and hold another baby or toddler,plus the drivers site health &safety at you and if you do get on the bus as you have your arms full with nothing to hold on to,they take off at speed &you get knocked to the floor.
I would just like to use the buses the safest way-as wheelchair users do-I'd like to be afforded the same rights-do they exist or are we being legally descriminated against?

I was told that I should keep my door unlocked when driving so that in case of an accident or I become incapacitated, someone can open the door and get me out. But then that would also make it easier for somone to car jack me.

Will it ever end? It's becoming worse in California since it started raining. Don't people want to be safe? Why is it always men who are so disrespectful on the road? They can see I have kids in the car!

Back when CB radios and radar detectors was the accept way to drive on Interstates, I carried them with me when I flew to another city. I did hear that detectors were illegal in California.
On my flight to Sacramento, after renting a car and getting on Interstate 5,I pulled on the shoulder and opened the bag with the CB and detector to install in the rental. As I was getting the detector out, there was a rap on my window. It was a CHP officer. I was caught red-handed, but tried to play it cool.
“Hi, officer.” Him: “Can I help you, Sir?” Me: “No…I’m just connecting my CB in this rental.” Him: “Well, that gives me a problem.” Me: “It does?” knowing I’m cooked. Him: “Yes sir, the shoulders are for emergency parking. Get back on the freeway and pull off at the next exit.”
He went to his cruiser and I pulled on the pavement staying 5 mph below the 55 limit, with him on my tail. As I got off at the exit I looked for him to follow and give me a ticket. But he didn’t. Whew!

I am required to have at least an 18 BC rating. From what I see in stores, any extinguisher that is 10 pounds or more has a 40 or 60 BC rating. Also there is no additional information on my extinguisher besides the weight.

I live in N. Florida and we live deep in the back country--all of the roads are sand and if you don't have good -GOOD back mud tires, you won't be going to many places like town. I have tryed and tryed to bring up mud tires so I could see which would be the best for my truck Ford F150. But I can't find a page where I can look at many at the same time! Please help me find a page where I can see more than 3-4 at the same time. Thank you

Traveling on a 2 lane road (only 1 lane in each direction), a church bus stops to let children off after Sunday Morning Svc. The bus has flashing lights, but no "stop sign arm" that comes out like on school busses. There is debate in my home as to whether it is appropriate to yield/stop for this instance because the law only addresses school busses.
(This is a full sized bus)...Help settle this please!
